Grace

You called! =) how nice la...really great to have all these encouragement surround one when the going gets tough. THANK YOU!!

Still, ortho isnt really as tough as i thought it out to be. Somehow still can have time to pack here and there and even play a bit of cards and games. Orthobots is not completely finished the 2nd round, but its ok, i dun feel the urge to finish it that fast. Somehow, it seems as though osce will be a test we ALL breeze through. Come what pe what slides... it will all be settled la.

Okayys back to Grace. More than just your name! After gg through so much of medicine, somehow you know that it is truly by grace that we live, that we can live to breathe the next day, that we can crawl out of bed alive and kicking after each long slumberous night. It is only by grace that we can walk normally, that we can eat normally, and from a more ortho perspective, that we can have no neuro deficit, that respective myotome and dermatome can function as they should. (ie i want to lift my hand, my hand lifts!)

Nice isnt it? Yet it also makes one ponder what about the others who suffer. Maybe one day... i will be like him? Getting a nerve palsy. What would happen then? What would i do? How do i cope? A functional deficit? How?

Ortho was an eye opener in some aspects. You see people ### day in and day out. People come in with ray amputations... and to be ray amputated... nerve palsies.... etc etc. Makes you wonder how they cope with the functional deficit ...

Anw premorbidly, the only logical thing that we can do is give thanks. Give thanks for this grace upon our lives up till now and ongoing, that your holy hand will hold us and protect us.

Morbid thought for a moment. But still thanksgiving overrides!
